Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear rich red - brown with a decent off-white head. The aroma is toasted grain, pine, varnish, red fruit, pink grapefruit and toffee. The taste is bitter - sweet, pine needles, resinous, red grapefruit, berry skin, fruit compote and fruit cake with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty OK for a cask red ale. Decent condition anyhow.
